Socialbakers discussed its second-quarter results and the methodology behind them in an email to AllFacebook:

Our second-quarter Socially Devoted numbers are in, and — surprise, surprise — they show that fans want to engage with brands. Customers increasingly prefer to voice their opinions and get answers to their questions on social platforms. In this quarter alone, among the more than 54,000 Facebook pages Socialbakers analyzes, users asked more than 1.5 million questions. 67 percent of those questions were answered by the brands they were aimed at. This makes Facebook — for the second quarter in a row — a Socially Devoted platform.

We set the bar for what it means to be Socially Devoted — we believe that brands should respond to at least 65 percent of questions posted by fans. Responsive brands see the difference. Only 5 percent of brands are Socially Devoted on Facebook, yet they receive one-half of all questions asked and reply to nearly 70 percent of them in 15 hours or less — much better than the average response time of 26 hours. It’s simple, the more Socially Devoted you become, the more your fans will interact with you.
